Got the opportunity on this beautiful fall day to step inside and see what it's like. It is quite big inside. I love the ambiance of big open space to sit and get work done while sipping a cup of coffee. There was a couple of groups there and music was playing but still the noise level was bearable. Not loud at all. The cashier was friendly and knowledgeable in telling me what were the ingredients in the dishes I was considering. I settled on the turkey croissant with a house salad and a coffee. When the person brought me my food, I noticed that the coffee had been spilling in the carry tray. A bit surprising as it must have been filled to the brim. In any case, the coffee was good, hot but wished it could be hotter. The sandwich and salad was tasty yet could use a bit more of the house sauce to give it some oomff. I would visit here again.

We're recent transplants from BK and have been looking for a coffee spot w a cool vibe. This meets the mark, and also have a great line of coffee options.

Asked for an Espresso and the girl behind the counter said "what is that" !!! If you don't know what an espresso is in a coffee shop to then you should close your business immediately. In addition the prices are insanely expensive. I walked out. Do not recommend in any way.

I love this cafe, or at least I thought I did. My great experiences were turned upside down when I went here on a Thursday afternoon to work. I got my usual coffee and a pastry. My partner got the cuban coffee, which is always delicious, and their turkey jalapeño sandwich.The sandwich comes out and it looks like it may be good. Covered in jalapenos and cajun seasonings, it was too d*mn spicy to enjoy. Like unbearably spicy! I told my partner to see if she could get something else, since it was unbearable to enjoy. She likes spice, but not to this degree. The manager/owner went on to tell her that there was nothing she could do, and if she was to give her a pastry or accommodate her, it would come out of her paycheck. I'm guessing she didn't realize the $30 we just spent actually came out of our paychecks as well. As a business owner, you should accommodate your patrons and try to make it right. They wanted us to spend more money on top of the money we had already spent, in order to be accommodated. My partner wasn't asking for her money back or another sandwich, just management decorum, and class, in which Shauna so terribly lacked. I now know where they got the name Elitist from, not because the service is Elite-but because they portray an elitist attitude towards their hard-working patrons. Needless to say, I won't be coming here any longer as I'll be taking my talents to Jackie and Son.

Beware of this business, the owners Sharon and Shauna Arnette are truly ELITIST. So the name Elitist coffee is quite befitting. My partner and I went to grab coffee and lunch at their cafe as we've been doing every Friday for the past three months after discovering them. Unfortunately, because of the poor service that we received today we will NOT BE RETURNING. I ordered two coffees, one pastry and a jalapeño Cajun turkey sandwich. All of which costs me around 30 dollars including the tip. After taking one bite of the sandwich, immediately my mouth started burning. I opened the sandwich and noticed they cut small pieces of what had to be an entire jalapeño and put it inside the sandwich. The spice was immensely overpowering and too spicy to enjoy. I apologized and kindly asked the barista if I can exchange for something else. She went to ask the owner Shauna and she came over and said I can give you a discount but not a refund. I explained that I did not want a refund but it would be unfair to pay for something I barely ate. In an attempt not to be combative, I kindly asked the barista perhaps if their was someone else I could speak to. While I waited at the table, Shauna aggressively came over and said " if I give you a pastry, it will come out of my paycheck but sure go for it". So I asked her, did you say it will come out of your paycheck?" She repeated herself, shrugged her shoulders all while rolling her eyes. Not only was this comment uncalled for, but it was rude and embarrassing. We left without eating anything after spending 30 dollars. I should also mention that I told her I'm leaving a review and she said she didn't care.This coffee shop supposedly prides itself on being for the community but these women do not know how to run a business. They are rude, unkind and do not value their patrons. Unfortunately they've now lost two consistent customers. We will not support rude business owners. Shauna Arnette said it would come out of her paycheck to give me something in exchange for what I couldn't eat. Not realizing that I spent my hard earned money to support their business. Don't waste your money here.

Beautiful cafe I was told about that I am very impressed by. The quality of the lattes, teas, and food are beautiful. They have lots of light, comfy seating, and beautiful black art on the walls. This is now my go-to cafe! I'm only giving 4 starts because my salad that went with my sandwich never came and I didn't realize it until after I left.

Quite a nice spot. The coffee is medium roasted, not burnt. Spacious inside. Friendly staff. Parking can be dodgy, though.

A great place to grab a drink or get some work done. I haven't ordered any meals but their pastries are great and their drinks are very fun and tasty. The coffee is strong and they have enough roast options to make things interesting without being overwhelming.

I came here on Saturday 11.12.22 before going to movies to bare BP. I ordered hash browns, bacon egg and cheese wrap and a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. What I got was a egg and cheese wrap and no bacon or has browns. Ohhh yeah we did get the bagel with cream cheese and bacon. First off the Manager,Anamal was very rude and did not ask what the issue was to fix it. He was rude and the cashier got the ENTIRE ORDER WRONG neither tried to help or offer a correction. The manager blew me off and when I asked for corporates number he said he did not have it. I can’t wait to get in touch with corporate on MONDAY. I will never buy from here ever again. Do not go here. I am a beautiful brown woman. Another person complained and the manager was quick to assist. Smdh. They only catered to other races than me.

My hubby came home raving about this place! His take; Excellent coffee, tasty food, relaxing ambiance, great service!
Latte was not great - distinct burnt taste. For $6+ it should have been perfect. Egg muffins were terrible - overcooked to the point of being like rubber. Completely overpriced for very mediocre everything. 2 stars because the staff was lovely.

Elitist not so Elitist. Not exactly sure what I did to the world this week, but this is the second less than average experience in two days. Ordered an oat latte, almond cappuccino and a spinach danish. The oat latte came in a large mug and was good, however the almond cappuccino was meh just didn't taste what you'd expect and per my partner was in the sweet side it also came on a to go cup instead of a mug. Maybe they didn't have small mugs? The spinach danish was good I enjoy these anywhere and it's hard to get this one wrong. The environment is in the loud side with music playing. Plenty of space and cold as all the tables sit under an vent or another so bring something warm to wear if it's summer!

I was quite excited for their reopening and after waiting a couple of weeks for their soft opening to get things sorted, I arrived today, in their grand opening. The space is wide and spacious, and quite clean. We ordered an almond milk cappuccino, an oat milk latte and a spinach danish to eat in. We weren't given an option to heat up the danish so it was a bit cold, but okay. The coffees were pretty bad. The almond milk cappuccino was so foamy and sweet, and somehow arrived in a to go cup. The oat milk latte was super hot, and I burnt my tongue on it. There are so many outlets available, for those looking to do some, but it's quite cold with air blowing directly on the tables and very loud.

Visited for the first time today. It's a beautiful space and the menu seems great. I really wanted to love it because I live nearby, but I need to give an honest review. I do believe that they are short-staffed, so I will return again in a couple of weeks to support this great addition to the area. First, the ordering takes too long. The person taking orders must have pressed 50 buttons on the screen for a large latte and overnight oats. There was only 1 dedicated barista with 6 tickets waiting. There were 2 groups in front of me. My latte took 25 minutes. That's a long time, especially if you pop in for coffee and need to get back to work. Latte was good, but the chai overnight oats basically just had cinnamon and nothing else. See picture. For $7, some fruit and seeds and granola should be included. Staff was friendly, music was nice. I think if they get more staff and offer more coffee options, it will be an awesome coffee shop. I am looking forward to trying again soon.
